What did you Accomplish in Gaming Today?

[xwatchmanx]

It's the Meta Knight, and yes, it is super hard.

I'm not talking about Meta Knight. He's easy (and he's in the original arena, not the True Arena). I'm talking about that other boss looks sort of like him. You fight him as the final boss of Meta Knightmare Ultra, and again in the True Arena as the second to last boss.

Anyway, I beat OoT 3D today, with all heart pieces, 66 spider tokens, and every optional expansion and weapon upgrade. All that's left for me to do is get the last bottle from the Poe Dealer and the other 34 spider tokens. I know I said in my last post I'm going to 100% it now, but I decided to play other games in between. The rest of OoT that I have left is essentially a grind fest after all, and I don't want to get bored. I might start another playthrough of aLttP. I beat it earlier this year, but playing it again close to A Link Between Worlds' release will better freshen my mind for all the similarities and differences between the two games.

I played my first ever match Starcraft 2 against some guy who was level 50. I'm sure you can guess the result.

I feel for you :'(
Makes me remember when I bought C&C3, and went online after completing the campaign and doing a few skirmishes.... Sad

Yeah had similar experiences with Red Alert 2, C&C3 and Battle for Middle-Earth 2 first time I tried multiplayer.
God it feels like ages ago that I was one of the top players in Red Alert and BfME2.
Now I think about it, it has been quite a while since I played RTS games...
Maybe in september when exams are over.

Anyway: Finished post credit story of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 3DS (which actually is only 1 dungeon that's not even challenging).
I have one word to describe this game: Bullocks.
They managed to ruin my favorite Pokémon francise.
It's too easy, too short and the story is weak.
Previous games had a great storyline that even continued far beyond the credits, had an immense amount of Pokémon, far more challenging dungeons and a much higher difficulty level.
Sure it's fun that you can design and build your own paradise, but that on it's own isn't enough to make it a good game.
Also it's bullshit that you can only take on 1 mission at a time even when they are in the same dungeon!!!!

EDIT: Just started up Wario Land 4, saw that I only needed 1 more collectible and found it after the first try. Another game 100%!

Four more quests 'til my HR8 test in Monster Hunter. G-rank is so far kicking my butt, but I think I'd farm for more Azure Rathalos bits....in order to make a Rath Soul Z armour.

This is the hardest game I've played in a long time.

 

[CompassNorth]

I beat Code of Princess today.
Fuck's sake man I hope I never have to touch this game again.
I never thought a beam em-up can be so grindy and boring.

 

[Arras]

I finally finished getting all my Steam Trading cards. Now I have 4 pages of the things. Now to sell them and buy others to complete some sets.

 

[Ethevion]

Saved my partner Snivy in PMD - Gates to Infinity. Those jerks kidnapped him.

 

[weavile001]

reached the top of the titan Darius on Unchained Blades.
reached LV 10 with Squall, Laguna,Cloud of Darkness and Sephiroth on Dissidia 012: Final Fantasy.

 

[DragorianSword]

Played a bit on a couple of games the last few days.
Finally got really into the new Animal Crossing, shoveling Bells by the thousands
God I wish making money would be that easy in real life...

Played first 2 levels of God of War Chains of Olympus.

Got to Sequence 3 of AC Liberations, but lost interest in it after that. I finished it before, but my saves got deleted by that stupid bug while I almost had all collectibles (I think I needed 1 more of each kind of collectible). Can't say I really enjoyed the game anymore after that.

Since my last post, I've almost completed a full playthrough of A Link to the Past on GBA. I just started Ganon's Tower, and have gotten every item and upgrade except for the one in Ganon's Tower. I also have all but 9 of the heart pieces. I might go back and collect those heart pieces before finishing Ganon's Tower for a 100% run (that technically won't be possible until I rebeat Four Swords multiple times, since this is a new file I started and I need to unlock Palace of the Four Sword and the continuous spin attack sidequest, but I can at least 100% the game as originally made, so to speak).

Sheesh, playing this game again right after a playthrough of OoT makes me realize just how much better of a game aLttP is than OoT. Longer game, better overworld, better control, more sidequests and optional items to unlock, the list goes on and on. I'm not talking from nostalgia either, as OoT was my first Zelda game at 8 or 9 years old, whereas I didn't play aLttP until last year.

Hmm haven't played aLttP yet. I'm slowly crawling myself through all the games in chronological order, I say crawling because I'm not an incredible fan of the games and I can find especially the console ones quite tedious at some moments.
At the moment I did Skyward Sword --> Minish Cap (my personal favorite ever) --> Four Swords (rubbish game, no story).
Next up is OoT which I actually finished before, but will start over for the sake of the chronology.

EDIT: Just checked in my Hyrule Historia and saw that aLttP is the next game in the chronology (well actually the timeline splits in 3 after OoT, but it's in the timeline I want to play first)

Yesterday, I collected all the heart pieces in Zelda: aLttP (GBA) and beat it, essentially 100%'ing the game as originally designed on the SNES. All that's left for me to do is the bonus stuff exclusive in the GBA version (Palace of the Four Sword and the riddle sidequest).

Yesterday, I also beat Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, which I've been working on little by little for a few months now. I've beaten it multiple times before, but it's been years since I've done so. I'll probably go back in a while and 100% it to unlock Ex mode, and then 100% that for Meta Knightmare.

Today, I finished off my playthrough of Metroid Fusion (3DS ambassador). This is the game I've beaten the most times in my life, ever (close to thirty times), but I haven't played it in about two years. I'm a little rusty (it took me about 2:45 with 70% items, and I'm pretty sure I've accomplished the same collection rate in less than 2 hours in the past), but I still mostly have my touch. And the game is still awesome.

I also completed a fresh playthrough of Zelda: Four Swords with my girlfriend today. Both of us erased our files because we wanted to change our names, so we needed to beat it again to unlock Palace of the Four Sword. We'll probably do at least four more playthroughs over time so we can both get ten hero medals to unlock the Riddle sidequest. It's such a fun game, I can only imagine how much more fun it is to play with four people. Maybe tomorrow I'll take care of Palace of the Four Sword on my aLttP file.

I also downloaded the demo for Mario & Luigi: Dream Team off the 3DS eShop, and holy balls, it's incredible! I haven't played an M&L game since the GBA original, one of my favorite games (though I played the first couple hours of Partners in Time, and wasn't too crazy about it), but this demo reminded me of everything I loved about it. The action commands were top notch, and the art style was beautiful, combining old-fashioned sprites with 3D environments (seriously, why can't Yoshi's New Island look like this?). I'm normally really picky about playing series in order, but I might make an exception this time and jump straight to Dream Team.

I cleaned my desk, replaced my PC speaker system (new speakers and base speaker... lol) turned it on and thought my windows where going to break. In my mind "50% it's only half way up should be fine...." what actually happened when I played a test file "Oh Jesus lord help me I think my ears are bleeding!!!" lol

I probably picked a bad movie to do the test with as well, Django Unchained and I fast forwarded right into a gun fight, good times where had by all.

Only about 500 things to do tomorrow but when I am done with those things I plan on testing these speakers out on some games!!!

 

[weavile001]

played some persona 3 : portable , reached 2 days before the 2nd full moon boss(may)

 

[xwatchmanx]

BTW, totally forgot that I beat Level 4 and the following boss (Dedede level 2) in Kirby Canvas Curse today.

 

[wrettcaughn]

Just finished Spec Ops: The Line.
What the fucking hell...

 

[ShadowSoldier]

Beat Tomb Raider with 73% completion. Good enough for me. To be honest, the game could be A LOT better. It's not bad, it's enjoyable, but definitely isn't anywhere close to GOTY like commenters have said. So far, The Last Of Us is the only game this year that deserves GOTY. Maaaaybe Watch Dogs, but we'll have to wait and see. Definitely won't be AC4.

 

[weavile001]

defeated the 2nd full moon boss on persona 3 portable,i was like:Holy shit, another huge boss....my attacks dealt over 200 damage, and the enemies had over 500HP...

I absolutely loved the game (my first Tomb Raider game, ever). My only serious issues with it were the auto-recharging health meter (that completely destroys the point of a survival game, in my opinion) and the QTEs.

Anyway, I played the 3DS eShop version of Cave Story for the first time in a while today. I have a "complete" file that's done except for the "true" final level (I could never beat it with the machine gun, and I haven't made any progress since October). So I started a new file about a month back to get the super gun made from your polar star (I can't for life of me remember what it's called), and have been playing sporadically. Today I got from the part where you build a bomb up to the part where you meet Curly.

I also finally started seriously playing Resident Evil: Revelations. I've had it since late last year, and dabbled in it a few times, but just couldn't really get into it (because im a pansy). Yet, yesterday and today, I just couldn't put it down. It's an incredible game, and even without the circle pad pro, the game is quite easy to control with the proper control setting and accelerometer aiming working in tandem (as well as a bit of practice).

QTE's were dumb. But I don't know, it just felt like too much of an Uncharted game instead of a Tomb Raider game. The puzzles were stupid, the environment really wasn't that interesting. The story was okay though, but the cast were shit. There's a lot of room for improvement, and I believe they can do it, but I don't think it's GOTY material like everybody says it is.

Also, Revelations is a really good game. I have it on 3DS, I beat it on WiiU, I loved it. I think the 3DS version is a bit better because I feel like it sucks you into the game more and makes it more scarier, but that's just me.
